| [An Nahar] Over 70 organizations including the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... and major U.S. defense groups have been targets of a global cyber spying effort, according to security firm McAfee, with analysts pointing to China as the culprit, the Washington Post said Wednesday. Targets for the intrusions -- identified from logs tracked to a single server -- included computer networks of the United Nations secretariat, a U.S. Energy Department lab, and some dozen U.S. defense firms, said the McAfee report to be released Wednesday, according to the Post. The snooping appeared to have been ongoing for several years. The report identified 72 compromised organizations in all, 49 of which were located in the United States, said the Post. Intruders, according to the McAfee report, sought sensitive data on U.S. military systems and satellite communications, among other prizes. Cybersecurity experts told the Post that China was the most likely culprit, as much of the intruders' targets listed by McAfee put emphasis on organizations linked to Taiwan and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in months leading up to the 2008 Beijing games. However McAfee, a leader in the cyber security industry, tracking network intrusions around the world, did not openly blame Beijing. |

| #5 "New Raw Deal"That was good. I'll have to remember that. They don't have to do anything the Demo's will take care of them. I don't know why the fuss. Bill Clinton gave away so much. They need money to pay the Media and run for election. China knows how to work em. |

| #4 And yet most of the computers we buy these days are from China. As a matter of fact, it's difficult to find one that isn't made in China. I wonder if the Chicoms might think twice about their little cyber war if our government slapped a 100% tariff on computers imported from China. |

| #3 However McAfee, a leader in the cyber security industry, tracking network intrusions around the world, did not openly blame Beijing. Toned down way of saying Beijing is doing it. Next thing you know China will be hacking into the computers that control our money and diverting it into their coffers. Wait a minute, they don't have to do that--we surrendered our economy to them long ago and it continues with the debt limit New Raw Deal. |
